About PFAS Water Contamination Claims

Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are a group of man-made chemicals that have been manufactured since the 1940s and used in everything from non-stick cookware to water-resistant clothing, food packaging, and firefighting foam. These 'forever chemicals' persist in the environment and human body, and have contaminated drinking water systems serving millions of Americans. Scientific studies have linked PFAS exposure to various health effects, including cancer, thyroid disease, decreased fertility, developmental issues in children, and immune system suppression. Lawsuits target manufacturers of PFAS chemicals, including 3M and DuPont, as well as companies that used these chemicals in their products, alleging they knew about the potential health risks but failed to warn the public.
